I heard that it's an every other week thing at the moment for refueling. If you happen to be on a voyage where they stop, definitely get off the ship. I once went to the St. Croix street festival and it was fun. Some nice local crafts and guys walking around on stilts!
Smooth sailing,

Just got off the Radiance of the Seas and yes we did stop in St. Croix on Wednesday, February 2nd. They did have the "Street Festival" with the guys on stilts, a steel band, and some dancers. They even opened a few of the stores and had some street vendors. Be careful to negotiate as the $14 t-shirt was $5 by the end of the night. Even the ladies store which had some really nice clothes discounted the already discounted things from $50 to $35.

I have noticed that you often write posts on this board -- thanks for your input. Since you've cruised a few times with your kids (or so it sounds), would you mind completing the Cruise Poll post that you'll see listed from earlier this week. I appreciate your input --and hopefully some other parents will respond to the poll too!
Thanks,
